Hello everyone. I'm new to posting
on these forums, (as can be seen by my rediculously
low post count) but I am not new to reading them.
I have found them a wonderful source of knowledge,
for the most part. And with that knowledge, I will
finally be building my first mid-high end gaming rig. :D

I will be ordering the parts from NCIX, and my monitor from
Tigerdirect, both in around 4-6 weeks from posting this.
The computer will be used mainly for gaming, as well as some Photoshop,
InDesign and other photo editing programs, but not at the professional
level. I do plan on lapping the cpu, and the heatsink. I will be overclocking the cpu.

My overall price range is approximately $2000 - $2400 CAD. including the monitor.

The parts I have decided on (and am now asking the veterans for
there opinions on) are as follows

As a side note, I will be purchasing the Premier Partner before I order my computer parts, and am considering a 30" monitor depending on how much money I have after ordering the computer itself. I have not read any other posts regarding this but I plan on it tonight after work. Thank you in advance. :)
